So I'm taking an advanced web design course at college, and am finally progressing at a reasonable rate (Or at least a rate at which I finally have something to show for). However, I am not really artistic in terms of aesthetically appealing design, so I would appreciate any feedback from you creative folk (Especially those of you with webdesign backgrounds... That means you Darth.) Anyways, since I'm to the point where I can write a webpage in HTML, style it with CSS, and add dynamic functionality with Javascript I'll be spending more and more times building sites to improve my skills, and will be posting all of those creations in this thread for you all to see/judge. Should also provide a pretty decent timeline to see how I progress.

Project One

So after a few months in the course, we have finally gotten to our first actual project, which is to style a pre built HTML page by attaching only your own CSS sheet. We are not allowed to change the HTML document in any shape, aside from linking to the CSS document. I've taken a pretty basic approach, but I am pretty content with the color scheme I have used. Constructive criticism, would be VERY appreciated. I have another week until it's due, and I know there's room for improvement.

Looks pretty decent. As far as your code goes, it's pretty clean. I like to save lines by doing the following:

Code:

.variable {cause: effect;cause: effect;cause: effect; }

As far as the design element goes, aesthetically pleasing colors are defined as such: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#X11_color_names. I tend to visit this page from time to time when I'm looking for a color palette in some of my shop work. Overall, you're lookin' pretty good.

Thank you, that should be a pretty helpful resource. I've been using Kuler for my projects lately:

I used to worry about eliminating lines of code, but after going through some programming course I have learned to embrace a simple, and clean style of formatting. No matter what I'm working with, if it requires curly braces, I use them so:

I do notice, however, that the "xhtml css cc 508 aaa" line at the bottom is off centre in the second. Is that meant to happen?

I prefer the second, myself. Makes the outlined bit stand out more.

Yeah, it looks goddamn retarded when it's left or right aligned. I could just make it sit at the VERY bottom of the page but meh.
